Hannah Sharpe, Cartoon Detective -- Janet Tashjian, Hardcover

From the creators of the bestselling My Life series comes a colorfully illustrated mystery adventure about Hannah Sharpe, an observant young cartoonist on the autism spectrum and her cartoon alter ego in this colorfully illustrated adventure.

Young cartoonist Hannah Sharpe has many strengths: she's curious, creative, has an amazing memory, and most important--she notices things. When Doug Williams moves into her family's Airbnb, Hannah can't shake the feeling that he's got something to hide. But his girlfriend, Remy Furtado, couldn't be nicer or more helpful. As Hannah investigates, often with her sketchbook in hand, she makes a series of unsettling discoveries involving stolen packages, changed keypad codes, and hidden stacks of cash. Can Hannah crack the case and unfold the mystery on her own?

Including full-color illustrations with panel art featuring Hannah and her cartoon alter ego, Dusty Pickle, here is a thoughtful and propulsive new book starring a neurodiverse protagonist.
